User did a batch update to change the project status in CORE, but had phased projects that were not expanded at the time. This action did not update the project status of the phases.
To update the projects as well as its phases, you must expand the list of phases and check each one of them before performing a batch update on them. You have to select the phases individually only if the parent project type is Standard. However, if the parent project type is Main, then all the phases below are selected automatically with the parent project selection when doing a batch update.
In the new Project List, you do not have to expand and select each phase. When you select a parent project, its phases are selected automatically, and the batch update applies to them as well. If you clear the phases from your selection, select Include Phases on the Review Changes dialog to apply the changes to all phases of the selected projects.
